• Operation of this popular tour is once again assured to operate with the number of reservations already in hand.

• Only a limited number of spaces remain available and can be gone at any time.

• This is because any one of multiple necessary tour components, in addition to the number of reservations in hand, can create a sold out situation. This is particularly true for LEAVES, LIGHTHOUSES & LOBSTERS.

• Bangor, Maine, the airport we fly in to and out of is very small with limited airline service resulting in only a small number of available major airline seats at any one time. This limited supply can be gone at any time.

• The Bar Harbor Inn where we stay and enjoy private balcony accommodations is the most popular of the inns and hotels of the area resulting in great demand, especially since Bar Harbor is within easy driving distance of major metropolitan areas like New York City and Boston. Because of this exceptional demand if Bar Harbor Inn sees the spaces they have set aside for our group are not fully reserved they can recall unreserved spaces to sell elsewhere immediately creating a "sold out" situation for our tour.

• It's free enterprise at its finest. For components like airlines and inns / hotels "nothing happens without a sale." If our travelers are not filling their spaces they are going take our spaces back and sell them elsewhere.

• This is because, unlike paint on a shelf in a hardware store that doesn't sell today it will still be available for sale tomorrow, in travel unfilled seats on flights flown and unfilled hotel rooms on nights that have passed are gone forever never to be sold

• American Cruise Lines, the most awarded for exceptional service and product river cruise line in America, with its 19 ships and more than 50 itineraries operating in 35 of our nation's 50 states continues to lead in multiple significant ways in the rapid growth of small ship cruising.

• American Cruise Lines is the leading cruise line for United States cruise experiences. It has explored America for more than 50 years with company roots beginning in 1972. Since that time, American Cruise Lines has pioneered new routes, introduced new ship technology to the cruise industry, and grown into the leader in small ship cruising in the U.S. It is the only American-owned and operated cruise line. All ships are built in the USA, flagged in the USA, and crewed by Americans.

• Question: Why is the northern coastal area of Maine called "Downeast" when it is actually "Up North" bordering Canada?

• Answer: It all has to do with how we designate from which way a wind is blowing. Example, a westerly wind is blowing from the west. The prevailing winds that propelled early sailing ships from areas like Boston, which is south or "down" from Maine, up to Maine were from "Downeast" - hence the name for one of Maine's most interesting areas.

• Special savings or bonus perks, if any, are going to be on the early front end of high quality and value-filled travel experiences. Early "sell outs" save both time and money some of which can often be well spent to help secure early reservations.

• If you are offered "last-minute" deals practice caveat emptor - buyer beware! It's 99% certain that spaces remain because knowledgeable travelers knew enough not to want them.
